Obviously that man can become gods is a troubling heresy. There is also the flipside that is even more troubling: that God was once a regular man. On another planet, of course.

I respect that you have a difference of opinion. Please explain why your opinion is correct & why the statements by Saint Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Justin Martyr, Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Augustine of Hippo, C. S. Lewis, Westminister Dictionary of Christian Theology, William R. Inge, Archbishop of Canterbury, are all wrong. They seem to treat your views as heresy. So who's correct & why?

These were students of the Bible, men of great intellect, & yet came to a vastly different conclusion than you. Their views seem to conform to the scriptures I cited to you, of which you still make no mention.

Even though I disagree, I respect your opinion, but am trying to gain a better grasp as to why you're so certain that your opinion is better than those cited. Do you really KNOW, or are you just guessing? If you know, please explain how, & if you're guessing, perhaps a change in tone would be appropriate
